Could you use this to test new releases of software for bugs? A bit like TDD but for GUI interactions

Have a look at HideAway VPN for some advanced split tunnelling - lets you create custom rules to route apps, websites, ports and IP addresses to different locations simultaneously, or block/exclude. So you set your rules up once and don't need to turn off the VPN to change them - it's like running multiple VPNs at once. Instant connection and great speeds too.

Did an experiment to give a software product a dark theme. Gave Both (GPT and Gemini/Nano) a screenshot of the product and an example theme I found on Dribbble.

- Gemini/Nano did a pretty average job, only applying some grey to some of the panels. I tried a few different examples and got similar output.

- GPT did a great job and themed the whole app and made it look great. I think I'd still need a designer to finesse some things though.

Well, your view (and others) will be skewed by your upbringing and experiences. I value kindness.

Nice one. Agree on all this. Once you lose the weight through proper eating/deficit, exercise will maintain it.

That was amazing.

Exactly! Nothing if you don't ship physical goods. I've been doing this for 24 years and only collecting sales tax for users in my home country. All other countries I just say on my invoice that any sales tax is included in the price. What are the going to do about me not charging sales tax in their country and remitting it? Come and get it?

I finally ditched Outlook last month - and settled on eM Client and it's really nice. It does a lot of stuff.

Outlook for years had these recurring issues:

- mail profile gets corrupted - requiring me to re-setup my mail accounts

- from time to time, emails would sit in the Outbox not going anywhere. Then I'd notice hours or a day later. Frustrating. Have to restart Windows to fix it.

Maybe the New Outlook is better, but when I first tried it, it was missing lots of stuff.

We've had to block a lot of these bots as they slowed our technical forum to a crawl, but new ones appear every now and again. Amazons was the worst

Here, educate yourself https://open.spotify.com/episode/1MDqwjo3TfL1w7NJo1wldR?si=A...

You're absolutely right. Their website is terrible to book anything on or do any admin with, probably got many different antiquated systems in the background

Sure, they always have the latest bleeding edge stuff. I'd definitely get this in the future though. Good yours has lasted

Amazing alright, I'd buy it but just bought a Surface and have had a couple of Asus laptops in the past and they don't seem to last the distance.

Maybe you can educate us then..

Odd, I've always found their support good. But this last week I couldn't order a card and they said they had to escalate it as we're not sure why it was happening. Anyway, I guess they found out, might have been unintended

MailWasher anti-spam is 23 years old and still going strong. https://Firetrust.com

Be nice if they made a UI like ispring.com with sections down the RHS, I think that would definitely help with learning

I'm exactly the same. Go away with friends and eat like they do and so I'm feeling full all the time, which feels oddly bad. Then I'm going to the toilet all the time. Have been IF for the past 12 years, aged 49 and still same weight as when I was 20.

Just get a Prusa, they're so good and reliable and the quality is amazing. You can either buy it in pieces (takes about 8 hours to assemble) or pay a bit more and buy it already assembled. I've had a couple of Ender 3's and they start out great but end up deteriorating in print quality after a while so you have to keep tweaking stuff which can be an exercise in frustration. Just my experience.

If you have HR people, you'll have HR problems

Agree. Started off using it because everyone is and it's quick to get going and setup a store, but as soon as you do any custom stuff it's a nightmare. We eventually ran in to a problem where any site updates wouldn't save, and there's no way to debug anything. We'd started to move to bigcommerce so that just accelerated it. Bigcommerce is more flexible but settings all over the place.

Came to say the same thing. Congratulations for persevering in the face of lots of frustrations, and coming out with a winner of a product. I know how much of a PIA getting physical products designed, manufactured and shipped is. Sounds like you have a lot of happy customers for the segment you're targeting.

I found Mullvad pitifully slow, even with Wireguard.

Using a 10Gbit connection, we got HideAway VPN up to 3.7Gbps (real world test) and 5.7Gbps on the local lan using iPerf. Other tests were done against popular VPNs and Wireguard clients.

We've been WFH for about 3 years now, and aside from meeting up each Friday for lunch, if you're finding it hard to get the point across on Slack/email or it's taking too long, the best option is to pick up the phone and talk it through. Saves so much time, and of course it's nice to hear the voice of the other person.

This looks amazing. Just reading over the docs before I dive in.
